Original:

After lunch, I received a phone call which a headhunter called me，and he told me that she wanted to recommend a position to me. After we talked then I got the company was the first interview company when I just graduated from college, which is a Swedish company.

I remember there were 5 students to participate in the interview, first, the interviewer asked us to introduce ourselves about 5 minutes for everyone in English, you know my English is very poor，so I just spoken about 3 minutes, at that time, I new I hadn’t already been passed, after I really regretted.

I think of a famous entertainment host said:”  When you are 15 old, you don’t think it is hard to learn to swim, and giving up, When you are 18 old ,you met a girl who you liked ,and she asks you to go swimming, you just have to say: “I can’t”. When you are 18 old, you don’t think it is hard to learn English, then giving up, when you are 28 old, you have chance to get a good job which must be good at speaking English, and you just have to say: “I can’t”. If you think is trouble in your young life ,and then you would meet big trouble in the future, and it is more likely to miss the people you liked  and the interesting things, what’ more you could miss beautiful view.

Edited:

After lunch, I received a phone call from a recruiter, and she told me that she wanted to recommend a position for me. After we talked, I realized the company was the first company I interviewed with when I graduated from college; it’s a Swedish company.

I remember there were 5 students who participated in the interview. First, the interviewer asked us to introduce ourselves for about 5 minutes each in English; you know my English is very poor, so I just spoke for about 3 minutes. At that time, I already knew I hadn’t passed. After, I really regretted it.

A famous entertainment host once said, “When you are 15 years old, you think it is hard to learn to swim, and you give up. When you are 18 years old, you meet a girl who you like, and she asks you to go swimming, you just have to say: “I can’t”. When you are 18 years old, you think it is hard to learn English, then you give up. When you are 28 years old, you have chance to get a good job which requires English, and you just have to say: “I can’t”. If you’re lazy while you’re young, then you’ll run into big trouble in the future, and it is likely you’ll miss the likable people and the interesting things; what’s more, you could miss beautiful view.
